Including filter system and high-performance Strontium-90 filter.
Strontium-90 is a radioactive form of strontium that can occur in water at very low concentrations. Because it acts much like calcium in nature, it can dissolve into groundwater and travel through mains into a house without any noticeable taste, smell, or color to warn you. The only reliable way to know whether it’s present in your Aberdeen water is through laboratory testing that looks specifically for radionuclides.
Whether you’re using water for cooking, making ice, bathing, or brushing teeth, strontium-90 is relevant to every faucet and fixture in the home. Point-of-use filters can reduce exposure at a single sink, but they leave the rest of the house unprotected. For Aberdeen homeowners—where hard South Florida water is common and scale can be a concern—a whole-house approach treats water at the entry point and delivers more consistent protection across daily water use.
A whole-house water softener using ion exchange is often the most effective single-filter option for reducing strontium-90 because the resin exchanges dissolved ions for sodium or potassium. That same exchange mechanism that addresses hardness minerals can also remove positively charged contaminants like strontium, so an ion exchange softener is a practical choice when you want treatment right at the Aberdeen service line before water reaches any fixture.
To be effective for Aberdeen households, an ion exchange softener must be sized to your family’s water use and the high mineral content typical of many South Florida supplies. Regular regeneration with salt restores the resin’s ability to capture strontium, and routine maintenance—plus a good prefilter to keep out sediment—helps the system last longer. Mr. Pure Water can review your water test and recommend a whole-house setup tailored to reduce strontium-90 while also managing hardness and scale.
